Young Republicans in Llano County, Texas
From Llano and Kingsland to Horseshoe Bay, Sunrise Beach Village, Buchanan Dam, Tow, and Castell, Highland Lakes Young Republicans is the home base for conservatives ages 18–40 across Llano County.
The Deer Capital of Texas
Llano County was founded in 1856 and named for the Llano River, which still runs through downtown Llano past the 1893 county courthouse. Proudly known as the Deer Capital of Texas, the county stretches from Enchanted Rock in the south to Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, and Lake LBJ in the east. Kingsland is its largest community, and Horseshoe Bay is its largest city.
Llano County is growing too, but the county’s own economic plan says that growth is driven mostly by new residents 45 and older, that nearly 2,500 commuters leave the county every day for work, and that poor broadband can make the county less attractive to younger generations. Highland Lakes YR exists so young people who want to build a life here have a voice in fixing that.
